...

The Great Dao, formless, emotionless, nameless.

Unknowing its name, it is called the Dao.

At this moment, Lu Qing saw the Great Dao left behind by countless generations of heaven's favored, no, to be precise, the nascent form of the Great Dao's insights.

The origin of every path is the Great Dao; even those on different paths cannot deny that jade from another mountain can be used to polish one's own stone.

Several figures braved the layers of overwhelming lightning sea, wanting to rush through, but some people who saw this lightning sea broke out in cold sweat and hastily fled, flying and running.

These few were different from the others; they were pure Cultivators going against the flow. Being so conspicuous, they were naturally the Saintess in Red, the Young Master Jiuyuan, and their group.

The Evil Cultivator disciples who wanted to come over weren't brainless either. In such a scene, they were just mere small fry; it was naturally impossible for them to stand out in such a grand spectacle.

As early as when the Lightning Tribulation appeared, they had already started finding excuses to hunt and kill the Cultivators who had fled and scattered within the Azure Ridge Volcano.

"Good timing!"

The Young Master Jiuyuan hardened his heart. An evil talisman turned into bloody light and merged into his eyes. He looked around and immediately laughed loudly, "Now he is at the most dangerous moment of the Lightning Tribulation. As long as we go up and deliver another blow, he will immediately suffer a backlash!"

"Yes, indeed. For someone like him to actually undergo tribulation right under our noses, he must be tired of living."

The Saintess in Red also smiled slightly.

"Hehe, Saintess, don't forget what Incense Master Tan instructed. The Great Demon Freedom talisman is in your hands, quickly use it."

That's what was said, but in reality, the distance between the Saintess in Red and the Young Master Jiuyuan, who led the two groups, was roughly as far as two mountain peaks.

This was not wrong either. Almost at the same time they saw the target, one flew towards the left peak, and the other flew towards the right peak, both with deep wariness towards each other in their eyes.

Hearing the word Incense Master Tan, the Saintess in Red's expression instantly turned grim. She looked in the direction where Lu Qing was. The bloody light talisman in her hand, with a faint wisp of demonic flame appearing on it, looked even more terrifying.

"Go!" She twirled a wisp of black light with her finger and injected it into the talisman. Immediately, the talisman became like a blood dragon, preparing to rush into the lightning sea in an instant.

It was just that the heavenly lightning was the most restrictive towards these Yin and turbid things.

That talisman circled a few times but couldn't break through.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"

"Fuck."

Both sides were dumbfounded.

But they quickly remembered this taboo.

"There's no time left. We must inject blood light together to make it exert its power."

The Saintess in Red on that side was also cursing inwardly. The other party was a Incense Master Tan with vast Divine Power, could he not have anticipated this kind of situation?

He must have already anticipated that these people would have to suffer some losses to break through the lightning sea blockade.

Which meant sacrifice.

Evil Cultivators have no scruples.

In the very next second after being dumbfounded, someone saw that the situation was bad and immediately fled.

A bloody hand immediately grabbed him and threw him towards the lightning sea. At the same time, an extremely hidden black light instantly entered the body of this Evil Cultivator who wanted to escape.

The Young Master Jiuyuan's methods were ruthless. His sinister gaze swept over these people, and he said gloomily, "Those who dare to escape, have you forgotten the rules of the Evil Cultivator Headquarters?!"

"Lor- Lord."

Someone tremblingly came out.

"Hmm? You want to escape too?"

"No, no! Lord, that person has finished his tribulation!!"

The trembling disciple's heart was stuck in his throat.

He pointed over there.

Both sides looked at the sky, and the aura of the tribulation clouds rapidly receded.

Both were stunned simultaneously and exchanged glances, both filled with anger towards the other.

"Bitch!"

"Bitch!"

"If it weren't for your dawdling, we would have succeeded long ago!"

"Better for a Fellow Daoist to die than for me to die, it's best to leave first!"

Cursing the other as a cheap bone, both sides then saw the situation was bad and fled.

But at this moment, in the center of the lightning sea, a figure had opened his eyes.

Divine light in his eyes slowly swept towards these malicious Evil Cultivators.

Bang bang bang—

Countless streams of bloody mist, along with the escaping souls, were all turned into blades by this divine light and were shattered one after another.

The Young Master Jiuyuan's expression was twisted to the extreme, "No! I am the destined Blood Demon Son!"

"I cannot die here!!"

"Ahhh!—"

A shrill, bone-chilling scream echoed across Biling. Birds and beasts were startled and fled in all directions.

The talisman on the Saintess in Red glowed with intense bloody light. A skin bag detached and flew away, only to be cut down again by that divine light!

She gritted her teeth. Streams of blood seeped out from her pale skin. Her entire face became fragmented, as if cut by countless blades.

"No! I cannot die here!"

"That trash Ninth Origin will die!"

"I won't!"

Her outer layer of human skin was quickly penetrated by the dazzling divine light. A hand made of white bone rapidly condensed a magic spell.

"Endless life, flesh and blood immortal, the vitality of human skin, sacrificed by me..."

"Heavenly Demon observes freedom, all beings gain leisure. Only my evil observation method, eternal and long-lasting!"

The last sentence fell.

Crack—

The bone hand was instantly stirred into a pile of fine powder by the divine light in his eyes.

Separated by a thousand li, the bone soul was extinguished.

This gaze had also slowly dissipated.

But an extremely faint humanoid trace, at this moment, transformed into the shadow of grass and trees and moved outwards.

A claw reached down, as if picking a flower, and plucked off this shadow.

The shadow woman's face was astonished, then turned into extreme terror.

Within the cultivation method, a fear deeply penetrated her soul and bloodline, never to extinguish, as if she had encountered a natural enemy.

Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth!

"The Demon Gate Immortal Sutra, an ancient technique, you've cultivated it well."

The owner of this claw praised her, but didn't engage in further conversation with the Saintess in Red or gather information.

He just opened his mouth, and with a gulp, swallowed this wisp of shadow into the world within his belly.

Done easily and happily.

"Not bad, there are still a few left, they can't run away."

It was rare to come out and relax. White Crane usually stayed within the Mountain Gate, accompanying Song Wen, and could not easily leave.

Moreover, these Evil Cultivators were even more cunning and hidden than Demonic Cultivators. If a stronghold was wiped out, they would pretend not to see it and wouldn't retaliate.

Unlike Demonic Cultivators who had actions every day, as long as there was action, one could grasp that wisp of Celestial Secrets.

The problem was that the land where the Evil Cultivator Headquarters was located completely concealed the Celestial Secrets.

Thinking of this, White Crane's eyes were somewhat speechless. He had seen those afraid of death, but never those so afraid of death. It was rare for this group to come out, so White Crane naturally volunteered to come out as well; after all, he was also a teacher of the disciples of the sect.

He wouldn't bother with peers or those Transcending Tribulation.

But bullying the weak with strength, he would intervene.

"He's also an Old Man, hmm, I can make a move."

Incense Master Tan felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat appeared drop by drop on his forehead.

Reaching his current Golden Core cultivation, he was actually scared into a cold sweat, showing how terrifying the newcomer was.

Over there.

A golden light flashed. The lightning sea and spiritual power sea within his Dantian all condensed into a Golden Core.

The Golden Core floated. A pure and focused aura slowly circulated through Lu Qing's muscles, bones, flesh, and limbs.

Repairing the physical damage to his flesh and skin caused by the Lightning Tribulation.

Within his soul, the soul Lu Qing also opened his eyes at the same time. In the illusory Purple Mansion, there was a dazzling Golden Core, like a great sun, slowly hanging upside down in the sky, illuminating the entire Purple Mansion space. Traces and wisps of Dao charm and aura flowed within this space.

"What is this, a Purple Mansion Golden Core?"

Lu Qing looked at his soul. There was nothing inside his soul's body.
